XswampyX Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 At least it went down! Imagine the telephone call. Seller "Hello, is that the estate agents?" Estate agent "Yes, fleece 'em & scarper. Sally speaking." Seller "It's Mr Barkingmad, from Tooting? I have that lovely new to the market another great three double bedroom flat for sale" EA "Ah yes. How's it going?" Seller "Not very well. I haven't had one viewing. I think the price might be putting people off." EA "Oh i see, let me have a look ........ yes, £214,950 does seem quite reasonable." Seller "I want to drop it by £50,000. It's a dead weight and it's costing me a fortune." EA "What? You do know house prices are rising, don't you?." Seller "Eh? But I haven't had one viewing." EA "Here's what I can do for you, I will add the price rise to your property, then take away the £50,000...... all done, the new price is £214,949" Seller "Thanks!" EA "No problemo, and have a nice day!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberbrown Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I have a theory that EA's are slightly ammending these entries so that appear as newly listed properties and therefore get listed first if the user chooses last 24 hours in the search criteria. Ive seen them doing it with phone numbers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Found by n/a] No, they have got it all wrong, if a property will not sell simply install some laminate flooring and stick 10K on the asking price - then it will sell no problems. Seriously, some of these amatures need to get with the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 on West side Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Proof at least one EA doesn't know about property bee yet. If you think that is cheeky, look at this one: 10% INCREASE! It gets better... in March! when we had clear price decreases. Obviously one of those "let's increase by 10%, as we have to decrease anyway".

catmandu Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 It`s simply a responsible Estate Agent (aren`t they all?) who has been analysing the inflation rates and is adjusting the price for inflation - since there`s a small bit of annual inflation out there, he has worked out that the new price is actually slightly cheaper. Hurrah, prices are going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snugglybear Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I remember Citizen Smith. Or Wolfie, to his GF's mother. Also... I've never actually seen Tooting when sober. Am I missing anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snugglybear Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 His nom de guerre was indeed Wolfie. GF's mother called him Foxy! Bloody hilarious. Ah, yes, that's right. My excuse is that I was rarely sober in the 70s. Which is why when people moan about how we're going back to the 70s and how ghastly that will be, I can't see their point. Although I may, of course, if I have to relive the decade sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kagiso Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 His nom de guerre was indeed Wolfie. GF's mother called him Foxy! Bloody hilarious. Sample dialogue - entirely from memory: GF's Mother: '...ahh, it reminds me of the war, do you remember the night we were on the common together, watching the Blitz? The night Singapore fell?'

TeddyBear Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The ad for that says "incredible yield" - would the yield be about 5%? Desperate EA speak rides again. Looks ex-LA too, so presumably all yield gets wiped out when council whacks private owners with a 10k bill for changing all windows in the building or some other nightmarishly expensive bit of maintenance.

BufferBear Bitcoin Bull Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Use to hang out around Tooting Grove as a teenager. My sister sold her 2 bedroom in the Grove for about 205k in 2005. She purchased it way back for about 18k. These will plummet ( a bit more than a £1.00). After all they are LA / ex LA flats...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
